1 and Mac OS X have very advanced GDI++ font rendering technology, which is much better than ClearType of windows. Moreover, the purpose of Mac system is to ensure that fonts look exactly the same as printed ones, no matter how big they are. On the other hand, Windows is different. Look at the fonts displayed in your current browser in the post bar. This font is called "dot matrix" and is designed completely according to the pixels on the screen. In Windows, no matter what font, whether Chinese or English, has become a "dot matrix" to a certain extent, which is good for screen reading, but it is greatly unfavorable for typesetting and printing.
2.Mac OS X system has advanced system-level color management, which extends to every link of software and hardware, and can ensure the consistency of colors seen in publications and screens to the greatest extent. Windows, on the other hand, has only a very rudimentary "color management", which is basically useless. Therefore, it is a "forced" choice for the design industry to use Mac, because the color management of windows is too poor.
3. At present, prepress typesetting is generally saved in PDF format, and Mac supports PDF at the system level. In Mac, any software can export PDF format, because it is supported by the system kernel. Windows can't. Although Windows can also install a third-party virtual printer and use the printing function of the software to export PDF files, this does not guarantee the accuracy of PDF files.
4. Some video software of 4.Mac has become the industry standard. For example, most post-editors in Hollywood use Final Cut Pro. You can search for the production tidbits of American blockbusters on websites such as Youku, and it is easy to see the figure of Mac. There is also the famous movie and television special effects software Shake, which is only available in the Mac version. Linkin Park, a famous band, also uses exclusive Logic Studio software under Mac to record and arrange music, and its DJ also uses Mac to play music during the concert.
Many configurationists think that Mac is expensive, but it is not. Because they only see the importance of CPU, memory and graphics card, but ignore the display. Take the 27-inch iMac as an example, it has an ultra-high resolution of 2560X 1200, an IPS screen and a viewing angle of 179 degrees! ! ! And the color reproduction is very good. Although it is not as good as professional screens such as EIZO, it is also a leader in entry-level and can meet the needs of the general design industry. Don't compare the home screen of 1000 yuan with iMac. 6,000 to 7,000 yuan can't buy an iMac screen. On Taobao, a flat and featureless 2 1 inch EIZO LCD screen sold for 1 more than ten thousand! Why? It's because of color restoration! ! !
6. The stability of 6.Mac system is unmatched by windows. People who use mac, I believe there are many people who haven't reinstalled the system for several years, and even died. Especially for film and television, the requirements for system stability are very strict. At this price, only mac can meet the requirements.
